In his opening speech, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that last July, compatriots, comrades across the country and international friends deeply mourned the passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
The Prime Minister emphasized that millions of people saw off General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, hundreds of countries sent condolences and more than 1,000 international delegations visited Vietnamese embassies in other countries.
This both affirms admiration and respect for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and demonstrates appreciation for the position and prestige of our country, as General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong affirmed: Our country has never had the foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today.
The Prime Minister also recalled that on August 3, the Central Committee unanimously elected President To Lam as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam with an absolute majority of 100%. On behalf of the Government, the Prime Minister warmly congratulated General Secretary and President To Lam.
Assessing the recent situation, he said that the world continues to develop in a complex, unpredictable manner, with many difficulties. These include political fluctuations, escalating conflicts in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and the Gaza Strip; risks to the global economy, fluctuations in gold, crude oil, and commodity prices; aging population, climate change, and resource depletion...
In the country, opportunities, advantages and difficulties, challenges are intertwined, but difficulties and challenges are more. Especially since our country is a developing country, the economy is in transition, the scale is still modest, the openness is high, and the resilience is limited.
Clearly assign tasks to people to achieve good results.

However, the Prime Minister appreciated the positive results achieved in many areas. That is, growth was promoted in the industrial, agricultural and service sectors. The macro economy was stable, inflation was controlled, major balances were ensured and there was a surplus.
60/63 provinces and cities have increased industrial production index, this is a bright spot. Many outstanding issues are focused on resolving. Social security is guaranteed, people's lives are improved.
Notably, he assessed that although the basic salary was increased in July, inflation did not increase significantly.
At the same time, he also acknowledged the limitations and difficulties. These include high inflationary pressure, difficulties in production and business in some sectors, and a high number of businesses withdrawing from the market.
Discipline and order are sometimes not strict in some places; officials and civil servants are afraid of making mistakes and avoid responsibility; security and order in some areas are potentially complicated; the lives of a part of the people are still difficult, especially in remote areas, border areas, and islands.
The Prime Minister raised the issue of the need to resolutely remove institutional obstacles, focus on implementing well newly promulgated and effective laws such as the Land Law, Housing Law, Real Estate Business Law, Law on Credit Institutions, etc.
At the same time, ministries and branches must provide specific guidance, localities must be more proactive and active, and agencies must respond better to policies according to their functions, tasks and powers, focus on implementing key tasks, renew the three traditional growth drivers and promote new growth drivers...
"But the spirit is to assign "clear people, clear work, clear responsibilities, clear deadlines, clear products, clear results", strengthen supervision, inspection, emulation and rewards, and promptly handle violations," he emphasized.
Therefore, opinions should focus on evaluating the results achieved, not achieved, causes and lessons learned, and proposing policies and solutions. The focus is on achieving the annual GDP target of 7%, preparing contents and projects to submit to the Politburo, the Secretariat, and preparations for the 10th Central Conference of the 13th tenure, and the 8th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
